times over to get to the object of their
desire. The series features the best
bartering teams in the business as they
encounter amazing characters and
fascinating items. These swapping

walking away with the better item.

Alec (Michael Worth), a courageous but
impetuous knight, returns to his home
village having been summoned by his
older, more temperate brother Francis
(Tahmoh Penikett). Finding Francis
working in the family blacksmith shop,
Alec learns that their elderly father
Reginald is not long for this world. As
they walk through the small town
exchanging news, they spy two beautiful
sisters, Anabel (Kacey Barnfield) and
Isabel, whom the brothers have admired
for some time. The brothers' reunion is
short-lived as Cid wanders into the
village, terrified and half-crazed. As the
villagers gather round, Cid recounts a
story of his attack by a winged creature.
The onlookers scoff in disbelief, one
remembering the myth of the fearsome
Jabberwocky. As if on cue, the red-eyed
monster's blood-curdling shriek is heard
in the distance the traveler Cid has led it
to their peaceful home. The Jabberwocky
descends upon them with the body of a
dragon, the head of a gruesome insect
and deadly claws. Brash Alec draws his
sword and charges the beast, but to little
effect. Francis joins the fray, convincing
his brother of a more tactical approach as
they battle together. But even together
they are no match. The Jabberwocky
snatches Isabel and moves off. At dawn
the next day, the men of the village arm
themselves and go off in search of the
terrible scourge. Alec rides off with them
while Francis remains to guard the
village and tend to their ailing father. As
the hunting party track their quarry,
Francis takes to his workshop to fashion
a new type of weapon: long and elegant,
the prophesied Vorpal Sword. But before
he finishes, he regrets his decision to
remain behind and hurries to join his
brother. Francis arrives just in time to
rescue the cornered hunters, but as the
group retreats Francis sees Alec is not
with them. Fearing the worst, Francis
breaks the news to his father. As the
Jabberwocky launches a new attack on
the village, Reginald seeks retribution for
his son Alec, only to fall himself. But all
is not lost as the cunning Alec returns
having rescued Isabel from the
Jabberwocky's cave. Alec has also stolen
one of the Jabberwocky's eggs, evidence
that this monster won't be the only one of
its kind for long. Now the brothers must
stand together, wield the Vorpal sword to
save their home and the women they
love, and avenge their father's death.

Green (Corin Nemec), prodigal party boy
and son of the mayor, returns home to
White Sands with a scheme to breathe
some life into the dying economy (and

attacks, which would ruin Jimmy’s plans.
Brenda calls in an expert, shark scientist
Dr. Sandy Powers (Brooke Hogan), as

appears to be a sand shark, a beast which
moves through the sand as if it was
water. A shark is electrocuted by
accident, but it’s soon discovered that
this shark, though gigantic, was only a
baby! The festival continues and
thousands of college kids arrive just as
dozens of sand sharks make their
presence known, attracted by the
vibrations of the crowd and the PA
system. The most menacing beasts to
ever rule the waters, now rule the sand
mercilessly feeding on anything that
crosses their path. It’s a giant feeding
frenzy and it’s up to Brenda, Sandy, the

In 1928, two titans of their age, David
Sarnoff, President of the Radio
Corporation of America (RCA) and
Joseph P. Kennedy, father of the future
President and owner of the Film Booking
Office of America (FBO), a movie
distribution company, met at an oyster
bar in Manhattan. By the time the meal
was over, they'd agreed to combine
RCA's Keith-Albee-Orpheum theater
chain with Kennedy's company (as well
as the fledgling Pathe Studios) to form
Radio-Keith-Orpheum, or the RKO
Corporation. By combining film
production, distribution, and hundreds of
theaters under one umbrella, they knew
they had an innovative business model.
Little did they know how innovative the
company would be. Over the following
two decades, RKO would go on to
produce classics in nearly every genre,
from comedies: Howard Hawks,
Bringing Up Baby (starring Cary Grant
and Katharine Hepburn), horror films:
the original King Kong (starring Fay
Wray), thrillers: Hitchcock's "Notorious"
(starring Cary Grant and Ingrid
Bergman), and perhaps the most
influential film of all-time, designated by
AFI as Number One on their list of the
100 Greatest Movies, Orson Welles'
masterpiece "Citizen Kane."

possible answers to the age old question,
“What happens to us when we die?”
Each episode focuses on three near death
accounts that provide an emotional hook
related to the episode’s theme. Many
who have had near death experiences
believe that, for one brief moment, they
were standing in the threshold of another
existence. For some, that moment has
defined their purpose in life. Others, look
to science for an explanation. As

whether there is life after death. Believe

finding out the answer.

names in Australia. From a string of

relationships, to leaked topless photos,
run-ins with the police, and endless

paparazzi and extravagant celebrity
events, and we meet the girl who still
takes her laundry home every week. Is

managing their numbers is the
responsibility of the five fearless

the year. Tommy Nichols, who leads the
group, is missing two fingers on his right
hand. One of many croc-catching battle
scars, they serve as a reminder that there
are two things you need to catch a
crocodile: speed and guts. Of course,

too. With saltwater crocodiles now
outnumbering the Northern Territory’s

life and limb to protect and control the
vital yet violent reptile population.

Scorsese, Demme, Coppola, Cameron,

Key Cast: Ken Ogata, Masayuki
Shionoya, Hiroshi Mikami
Origin: USA
Paul Schrader’s visually stunning,
collage-like portrait of acclaimed
Japanese author and playwright Yukio
Mishima (played by Ken Ogata)
investigates the inner turmoil and
contradictions of a man who attempted
an impossible harmony between self, art,
and society. Taking place on Mishima’s
last day, when he famously committed
public seppuku, the film is punctuated by
extended flashbacks to the writer’s life as
well as by gloriously stylized evocations
of his fictional works. With its rich
cinematography by John Bailey,
exquisite sets and costumes by Eiko
Ishioka, and unforgettable, highly
influential score by Philip Glass,
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a
tribute to its subject and a bold,
investigative work of art in its own right.

of Origin: Hong Kong
In revisiting and reworking his earlier
cult classic, Director Yonfan had all the
contemporary film restoration tools and
toys at his disposal. BUGIS STREET
REDUX is the outcome of that effort.
When it first hit the film and festival
circuit BUGIS STREET was a
groundbreaking film for the director and
for Asia. Shot on location in Singapore,
the actual spot (then called Bugis
Junction/Bugis Street) was long known
to locals as the center of the real nightlife
there. It was where one could find local
transvestites, prostitutes, and transsexuals
mixing it up with both Singapore’s high
society and underground gay culture
together with US sailors and soldiers on
military leave. The film features actress
Hiep Thi Le in her first role right after
her film debut in Oliver Stone’s
HEAVEN AND EARTH. The film also
featured and co-starred many of the real
locals from Bugis Street. The film
marked Yonfan’s first collaboration with
Fruit Chan who served as screen writer
and later went on to become a renowned
director in his own right.

Coast. Fueled by massive doses of LSD,

time, and the boundless landscape of the
imagination. Forty-plus years later,

unearthed Kesey’s footage, audio

then unknowns, A CERTAIN

major forces in Hong Kong cinema.
STORY OF ROSE
Romantic Drama (90')
Language: Cantonese
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan
Producer: Yonfan
Key Cast: CHOW Yun Fat, Maggie
CHEUNG
Origin: Hong Kong
The only celluloid romantic connection
between two of Hong Kong's biggest
superstars - Chow Yun-fat and Maggie
Cheung. Adapted from one of the bestselling novels by Yi Shu - Hong Kong’s
own Francois Sagan, STORY OF ROSE
tells the tale of a beautiful young woman,
Rose, living an idyllic life with her
brother in Hong Kong. They are close; so
close that their bond has a subtle hint of
incest. The bond is broken when her
brother dies, until one day Rose meets a
young guy named Ga-Ming who looks
like her deceased brother.
DOUBLE FIXATION
Drama (96')
Language: Cantonese
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan / Xiao Mei
Producer: Lin Tsui
Key Cast: Cherie CHUNG, Jacky
CHEUNG, Pauline WONG
Origin: Hong Kong
Hitchcock meets High Camp in Yonfan's
black comedy, DOUBLE FIXATION. It
is a mixture of mystery, murder, and
mirth that is as much BRAZIL as
VERTIGO. Asian audiences a quartercentury ago might not have been so "in"
on the humor of a film so ahead of its
time that DOUBLE FIXATION hasn't
aged a bit in the intervening years. In one
of his first major screen roles, music
megastar Jacky Cheung plays a
photographer madly in love with Cherie
Chung -- she's so breathtakingly
gorgeous but she's far more complex than
he realizes, disappearing and reappearing
in San Francisco. An added attraction is
that the scene was shot on the actual San
Francisco street where Kim Novak
tormented James Stewart in VERTIGO.
It all adds up to a unique '80s blend of
Hong Kong and Hollywood, a
stylistically Yonfan double fixation.
BISHONEN
Drama, Queer Interest (101')
Language: Chinese
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan
Executive Producer: Sylvia Chang
Key Cast: Daniel WU, Stephen FUNG,
SHU Qi, Terence YIN, Jason TSANG,
Kenneth TSANG, CHIAO Chiao,
CHEUNG Tat Ming
Origin: Hong Kong
BISHONEN is perhaps the most talkedabout Yonfan movie, having been invited
to over 40 international film festivals
including Berlin, Toronto, London,
Tokyo and named "Best Picture" in
Milan. Yet when it was initially released
in Hong Kong, BISHONEN was also the
most censured. Produced by Sylvia
Chang and narrated by Brigitte Lin,
BISHONEN is the emotional travails of a
handsome gigolo (Stephen Fung) and a
hunky cop (played by Daniel Wu in his
debut role), who is trying to come to
terms with his sexuality. Extravagantly
breathtaking and lavishly romantic, the
film is considered to be one of Hong
Kong’s most homo-erotic cinematic
statements.
PEONY PAVILION
Drama (123')
Language: Mandarin
Director: Yonfan
Writer: Yonfan
Executive Producer: Chen Kun-Hou
Producer: Yonfan
Key Cast: Rie MIYAZAWA, Joey
WANG, Daniel WU
Origin: Hong Kong
PEONY PAVILION could only be a
Yonfan picture, and arguably 2001's
boldest production, incorporating
MIPCOM 2012
69
passages of traditional Kunqu opera into
a lush romantic story featuring superstars
from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan.
Yonfan’s movies have a thematic
consistency in their depiction of idealized
love that is fleetingly found and then
irrevocably lost. PEONY PAVILION is
no exception, taking place in 1930s
Suzhou and centering on the intense
relationships between the fifth wife of an
opium-addicted aristocrat (Rie
Miyazawa), her husband's female cousin
(Joey Wang), and a handsome instructor
(Daniel Wu) who himself learns a few
things in the process.
BREAKING THE WILLOW
(110')
Language: Mandarin
Director: Yonfan
Producer: Yonfan
Key Cast: ZHANG Jiqing, WANG Fang,
ZHAO Wenlin
Origin: Hong Kong
In this film, his only documentary,
Yonfan explores the world of kunqu -considered by many to be the most
exquisite form of Chinese opera with its
refined blending of drama, dance, poetry,
and music in this intricate and intimate
look at the stage production,
BREAKING THE WILLOWS. The story
centers on a phoenix coronet, a crown
worn by aristocratic ladies in ancient
China, connecting two Chinese women
belonging to different eras and different
classes. With a visual richness and
cinematic grace rarely seen in a
documentary, Yonfan captures the magic
of the taichi-style movements and
resplendent costumes as brought to life
by kunqu stars Zhang Jiqing, Wang Fang,
and Zhao Wenlin, performers whose
mastery of the art has elevated them to
the status of Chinese national treasures.

a quartet of characters - the dashing air
force officer father, his beautiful devoted
wife, a mysterious scar-faced bureaucrat
and a general’s glamorous wife. Their
lives and loves intertwine until
everything erupts in a rhapsody. Amid
life in that turbulent era, friendship,

Chung, Shingo Tsurumi

In this Hong Kong classic, Yonfan’s ‘80s
aesthetic reaches its peak in LAST
ROMANCE, a touching but light-hearted
coming of age drama perfectly
complemented by two of the decade’s
most intriguing screen beauties, Cherie
Chung and Maggie Cheung. Firmly
grounded in the realities of Hong Kong,
LAST ROMANCE tells the uncertainties
facing best friends So-so (Cherie), who
does what she must to survive on her
own luxurious terms, and Nancy
(Maggie), more naïve perhaps but
nonetheless love-struck by the same
handsome Japanese boy who, alas,
cannot fulfill both girls’ destinies. An
opulent time capsule of a pivotal moment
in both the girls’ lives and the magical
place called Hong Kong.

Key Cast: Dalai Lama, Lhasang Tsering,
Samdhong Rinpoche
Origin: USA
Unfortunately, the 14th Dalai Lama and
the Tibetan people receive little political
support in their drive to put an end to the
Chinese brutal regime, as international
governments are seemingly motivated by
economic interests in China. The lack of
progress toward a free, or even a truly
autonomous Tibet, urges more and more
young Tibetans to consider alternatives to
the Dalai Lama's Middle Way Policy, a
compromise on Tibet's Independence.
The controversial discussion about the
right strategy for achieving a free Tibet non-violent or violent, autonomy or
complete independence - is becoming
more emotionally charged day by day.
Monks have been leading Tibet and
Tibetans for generations, not only in
religious, but also in worldly matters. But
monks have vows that bind them. And
often those vows conflict with the needs
of politics. The Tibetan movement today
is divided and weakened by an ongoing
argument whether the Dalai Lama"s
Middle Way Policy is the right strategy
or not...

of salsa. We have interviewed salsa icons
such as Ruben Blades, Johnny Pacheco,
Willie Colon, Ismael Miranda, Gilberto
SantaRosa and on the reggaeton side we
interviewed billboard chart - topping
artists such as Julio Voltio, Tego
Calderón, Hector "El Father" just to
name a few.These artists all came
together with the same purpose to discuss
how two different styles of music can
have so much in common and how their
music is all composed under "La Clave,"
the five-note two-bar rhythm pattern
which generates rhythmic measurement
and is the foundation and backbone of
Salsa (and all Afro-Cuban based music).
They also take you on an extraordinary
journey back in time to the roots that

Divorce has plunged Domenico, Ulisse
and Fulvio into serious economic
problems. The three men meet for the
first time when - looking for a place to
stay - they converge on a flat that none
of them can afford on a single budget.
The instant proposal of sharing space and
expenses brings them together under the
same roof. But under the same roof land
also every possible problem each of them
has with ex wives, young or grown-up
children and capricious new partners.
Instead of solving the housing aspect,
they end up by multiplying by three all
of their contentious interactions
involving alimony, child support and
relationships with old and new

'menage à trois' will have a disastrous if

terrifying technologies are hunting her,
and her own timeline is unravelling. Her

pigeons that are enlisted into the Allied
Homing Pigeon Corps in order to fight
the Central Powers during the First

the trenches where Allied and Prussian
planes are involved in a deadly dogfight.
We follow one duel as one plane, guns
blazing, chases another down towards the
ground and through the treetops of the
Argonne Forest. Here the camera diverts
the audience’s attention to where Red
Falcon, a top ranking falcon, seems to be
waiting for something or someone.
Suddenly, an Allied homing pigeon
appears on the horizon and the attack is
on! What is happening on the battle field
is paralleled by the actions amongst the
animals on the farm. CHER AMI is a
story of love and friendship, bravery and
treachery, set against events on the
French/Belgium Front, where the Allied
Forces are holding back the forces of the
enemy towards the end of 1918. An
Allied battalion becomes trapped behind
enemy lines, surrounded and bombarded
by their own forces. Their only hope of
escape rests in ability of the Homing
Pigeon Corps to break through enemy
lines with a message to the Allied
commanders. Will the pigeons succeed
and save the lives of not only the trapped
troops but also their farm and life as they
know it? Will their plans be thwarted by
the presence of a traitor amongst them?

charged with fraud. Their ostensible
crime? They are women posing as a
heterosexual couple, and therefore are in
violation of the state law that
discriminates against gay partners and
prohibits them from receiving the same
rights and benefits accorded their straight
counterparts. To make matters worse, the
governor (six-time Emmy-winner Justin
Deas) secretly arranges the trial to ensure
they plead guilty in order to protect his
politically expedient anti-gay marriage
bill. But the women decide to fight and
hire self-absorbed but top-notch attorney
John DeMire (Eric Etebari, 2 Fast 2
Furious, Witchblade, CSI Miami) to take
the case to trial. What ensues is a riveting
courtroom drama guaranteed to inflame
the passions of the masses concerned
with the most talked about social issue --
the legalization of gay marriage. Also
features two-time Academy Award
nominee Charles Durning.

From renowned Emmy®-winning
producer Dick Wolf, Chicago Fire is an
edge-of-your-seat view into the lives of
everyday heroes committed to one of
America’s noblest professions. No job is
more stressful, dangerous or exhilarating
than those of the Firefighters, Rescue
Squad and Paramedics of Chicago
Firehouse 51. These are the courageous
men and women who forge headfirst into
danger when everyone else is running the
other way. But the enormous
responsibilities of the job also take a
personal toll. With big reputations and
hefty egos, the pressure to perform and
make split-second decisions is bound to
put squad members at odds. When a
tragedy claims one of their own, there’s
plenty of guilt and blame to go around.
When it’s “go-time,” though, they put
their differences aside and everything on
the line for each other.

His total lack of interest in healing might
be just what this group needs—and
maybe, exactly what he needs to move
on with his life. From Emmy®-winning
writer and executive producer Scott

the state of human relationships. But

In the late ‘60s, a musician was
discovered in a Detroit bar by two
celebrated producers who were struck by
his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics.
They recorded an album that they
believed was going to secure his
reputation as one of the greatest
recording artists of his generation. In
fact, the album bombed and the singer
disappeared into obscurity amid rumors
of a gruesome on-stage suicide. But a
bootleg recording found its way into
apartheid South Africa and, over the next
two decades, it became a phenomenon.
Two South African fans then set out to
find out what really happened to their
hero. Their investigation led them to a
story more extraordinary than any of the
existing myths about the artist known as
Rodriguez. This is a film about hope,
inspiration and the resonating power of
music.

When Robert Stern agreed to this

was making a date with death. Even less
did he know that death would come into
his life on a godforsaken industrial
estate, measuring about 4ft 5ins, wearing
trainers and smiling. It is as though
someone hit defence lawyer Robert Stern
over the head when he sees who the
mysterious client is whom he is to meet
on this remote and derelict industrial
estate: Simon, a ten-year old boy, fragile,
terminally ill - and firmly convinced that
in a former life he was a murderer. But
Robert Stern's mystification turns into
horror and bewilderment, when in the
cellar Simon has described he actually
finds human remains: a skeleton, its skull
split with an axe. And this is only the
beginning. For not only does Simon tell
him about other victims from years ago,
but the present soon becomes murderous,
too...

and Electus, Creator/Executive Producer
John Fusco (Forbidden Kingdom, Young
Guns, Thunderheart), Executive Producer
Jim Dyer (Rome) and showrunner Dave
Erickson (Sons of Anarchy) in
association with Starz...comes the epic
adventure Marco Polo, based on the early
life of the traveler whose remarkable
journey would bridge China and the
West. Orphaned in the canals of Venice,
young Polo did not meet his merchant
father until he was 17, soon joining him
on his travels along the dangerous Silk
Road east. Conscripted into the court of
Kublai Khan, the most feared and
powerful ruler on earth. Polo was trained
in languages, archery, Mongolian
horsemanship, and the exotic weaponry
of China--all part of his grooming to
become emissary and spy for the
Emperor Khan. Navigating as many
dangers within the imperial court as on
the Silk Road and beyond, Marco Polo
finds himself torn between cultures--and
fathers--as he gathers the maps and
accounts that would one day inspire
Columbus. In an exotic world of
forbidden concubines, warring dynasties,
and imperial intrigue, Marco Polo finds
himself growing ever closer to the most
powerful man on earth--much to the
concern of Khan's own family. Featuring
the fantastical martial arts styles of 13th
Century China--never before seen on
American television--Marco Polo is a
thrilling epic inspired by the Venetian's
own accounts.
